I turn my shoulders
to the last summer sun
inconsolable for fall
at the door and winter
following they get into
my bones and stay too
long I try resignation
to no avail on my
mutilated wings

Il tempo
Sunday posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
il tempo lascia
tracce ovunque
le vittime non sono
mai vendicate
il tempo non si può
trattenere può essere
classificato mai
arrestato
e a pensarci
seriamente
non duriamo ma
il tempo di un respiro
il tempo si mostra
e fugge veloce

there are times when
a poem you read doesn’t
make any sense where
you suddenly realize how
nice it is to be lost

Verso le nuvole

occhi pensierosi
dorati tremolano
nella notte quando
i profumi veleggiano
verso le nuvole lontani
dallo scricchiolio
sottile dei piedi nudi
sull’erba addormentata

Step 2 of 13 Ways Of Looking At A Poem

sometimes you are just
walking minding your own
business when something almost
invisible floats in front of you
usually a bit on the side not exactly
in front you need to pay attention
and gently pick the poem
out of the air

just as bunny rabbits
at dusk poems show up
and while you stand
with your mouth open or
an enchanted smile
they rush away

fermarsi qui
smettere il tempo i pensieri
le nuvole buie scelgo la bellezza
la novitĂ e le voci lontane
indosso la gratitudine
se non mi strappano questa
posso vivere
ovunque

at times when I plant
basil such a delicate plant
I’ve to be careful to synchronize
my breath while I gently press
the dirt around as when
words sprout on paper

on mornings I walk
into the sun rising with each step
I type in words – they crowd around me
at dawn very few people are
around silence is bubbling

as the steps behind the stage
before the curtains rise fretful
yet filled with anticipation are
these morning poems coming
to me out of silence – eager

La somma delle fasi

si dice di questa eclisse
di luna chissĂ
nei tempi antichi che
non sapevano
quello che sappiamo
noi cosa si sarĂ
creduto mai di una tal notte
.
si sarĂ creduto
semplicemente la veritĂ
che in una notte
si compiva l’intero spettacolo
di un mese circa
come un riassunto per chi fosse stato attento
.
prima e per chi no

Step 7 of 13 Ways Of Looking At A Poem

some people sit and read
the program but do not pay
attention to the music or the tempo
they do not single out instruments
they need punctuation in poetry
prose in the shape of a column

I fiori e le api

ogni fiore ha la sua
ape che per un tempo lo abbraccia
e lo deruba eppure si dona
serenamente non un fiore
scappa via alcuni cadono
nel canale l’acqua
scorre lenta scorre alta
quella degli irrigatori
dipingono un arcobaleno
nell’aria per me che
ho una vita piĂą breve della loro
